maximum of three years.

Duties
• Operate and calibrate a prototype imaging nephelometer that operates 
in the near ultraviolet.
• Use this instrument to study brown carbon light absorption from smoke 
and other aerosols
• Combine the nephelometer data with extinction measurements in the 
near-UV region.
• Extend the measurements to data at a field laboratory, probably in 
Missoula, Montana.
• Present results at scientific meetings and publish them in 
peer-reviewed journals.
